No stamps were "inked" in making this card.........

that's right... a card with NO STAMPING!.  I had the intention of adding some... but in the end it didn't need any....   So here's my Vintage Christmas card...





I saw the card design in an Australian Papercraft Essentials  magazine and liked the idea.  Sort of an easel card... I started with an image from The Graphics Fairy ~ of a Victorian Santa.  I printed it and cut with a Spellbinders die and inked the edges with Tea Dye distress ink.  The rest of the card was made with patterned papers from My Minds Eye  "Lost and Found Christmas", DCWV " The Christmas Combo" and Hot off the Press " Forever Christmas Cards" ~a freebie with a magazine.   Some gems to finish and as the stopper.  I decided to use the Happy Holidays part of the PP along the base instead of adding some stamping.... Hubby commented on this one as being a favourite... normally don't get much in the way of comments from him :(   ~ maybe this will be for him this Christmas!

Had a nice lunch today.... my neighbour turned 60 this week and invited me to join her and some of her friends for a Girls Luncheon.  When I asked her there was anything I could bring she said..." well as a matter of fact, those little Pecan Pies you make would be nice"  ~ so made some yesterday afternoon....  For anyone who loves mini pies ~ this is the best and easiest recipe ever...

Thanks for stopping by....

Cheers
